in town this month: comedy Cryer and Golden Classic comedy at the Con Club “Yes, that was weird casting,” says Barry Cryer, of his one-off appearance as Robert Maxwell, in a 1993 stage show called Maxwell: The Musical. “We’d made an album, because I could sort of do the voice, and then the guy said ‘you’ve got the part’. I said: ‘What are you talking about?’ He said ‘we’re going to do it on the stage’. Which was a bit of a shock. And they got me a black wig and a fat suit and we did a try-out at a place called Imagine, off Tottenham Court Road.” For the purposes of a quirky-but-relevant intro, it would be lovely if this venture had marked the beginning of his singing career, and led directly to his long-running musical-comic collaboration with Ronnie Golden. But, of course, Cryer started out in the late 50s, when “all comedians would finish with a song; that was a standard thing.” In 1958, he had a number-one hit in Finland with a cover of The Purple People Eater. And, he reminds me, he’s been singing on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue for years. “I’ve always sung.” Ronnie Golden had started out as a musician, in a band called The Fabulous Poodles, who were apparently big in America in the late 70s. “We had some songs that were kind of ironic and amusing, and so it wasn’t that big a leap for me, really [to comedy]. I have to say, I was the first musical comedian on that circuit, in the early 80s, you know.” Their collaboration – which Cryer calls “rock n roll, gospel and blues, and jokes” – started in the early noughties, though the two of them remember different stories about how it began. They do agree that it was Cryer’s idea. Cryer didn’t know at the time about Golden’s prior success with the Poodles – “I learnt all that later”. Golden, of course, knew about Cryer’s impressive CV, and though they’d kind of known each other beforehand, “I was a bit intimidated the first time we got together to write. He’s got his history with him. But then I thought well, so have I; I’ve got American success and all that kind of stuff, and I’ve got something slightly different to bring to this kind of relationship. “I guess you could say that my stuff comes from a slightly darker, an edgier area,” Golden told me. “And then I run it by Barry and if he goes for it then we’ll work on it. You know, we’ve got a song, Unplugged, which is kind of about voluntary euthanasia – ‘I wanna be unplugged, I’ve had enough’. As long as we feel that what we’re doing isn’t cheap…” Cryer, who I interview separately, says of that song: “We sung it to a hospital audience once, and they loved it.” Steve Ramsey An Evening With Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden, Thurs 3 Mar, Con Club, 8pm, see <strong>March</strong> Listings 33
